Wildlife Series SV Battler Sprite: Loyal Lion

We've got a new addition to the Wildlife Series today: the Lion!  The King of the Jungle (even though he lives in the Savannah...) will take down any adventurer who stumbles into his territory!  And his partner, the Lioness, is here as well to rip apart anyone else.

And since it's part of the Wildlife Series, here's the Lion's mythological counterpart: the Gryphon!  Half lion, half raptor, all danger!  Heroes are in for a tough battle against this winged beast, it's beak and claws can cut through most armors!

I haven't decided what battler will appear next week, so it'll be a surprise!

But I'm curious, what is one of your favorite enemies in any game, and why?  For myself, I love liquid metal slimes, since they've got such a silly look on their face but it feels so good to take one down.
